Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent autism spectrum
disorders (ASDs).

Experts are still seeking the definite cause or causes of ASD.
There is also no known cure for ASDs. In both cases, there is a great deal of
research going on in the hopes a breakthrough can be found.

But that does not mean nothing can be done. There are
numerous treatments available that—while they cannot stop autism—can help
people with ASDs work around the shortcomings of their condition and build on
their strengths. Many people who have ASDs live well-rounded, fulfilling, and
independent lives.
